And I used low-fat mayonnaise, reduced-fat cheddar cheese and 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup. If you are not a fan of canned cream soups, you could always make your own low-fat bechamel sauce, like this one using olive oil and 1% milk from Martha Rose Shulman. Add some cooked brown rice and a big tossed green salad to this easy healthy chicken divan casserole.
